Awhile back I participated in the monogram swap hosted by Social Sara and Probaly Polka Dots! I just can't resist an opportunity for a pretty monogrammed gift!

I was paired up with Social Sara and she got me this Lilly Pultizer Chin Chin travel mug!

Seriously LOVE! I can already invision drinking coffee from it on a cold winter morning dreaming of summertime!

She sent it wrapped up so cute, but I was so excited that I ripped it open before I snapped a picture. But thank you Sara! Such a sweet gift! And I love that we got each other the same thing!! #greatminds

I've heard that once you turn 27, are unmarried, with no children and have a cat you are automatically a crazy cat lady, so I figured I might as well embrace it and throw a party for Mr. Kitty's 5th birthday!Honestly, I can't think of a better reason to get dressed up, decorate, invite all my friends over and drink lots of wine on a random Wednesday night!

I had a little free time one recent afternoon and I decided to work on a little craft project in my office/closet/craft room! I decided that my bookshelf that I'm using to store my purses and now shoes needed a little updating.

It was a hot mess before. Totally disorganized and purses were on display that I don't even wear. So I put everything I don't wear(or like to look at) in bins in the closet and de-cluttered the whole thing.

It's embarrassing that I even posted this! ekk!

My little DIY:

I spotted this cute shelf liner at Marshalls for $5.99 and thought it would be perfect on the back of my bookshelf! I only ended up using one of the rolls with some to spare for the whole project.

Since the liner is already sticky all I had to do was measure and cut. Easy peasy!

The actual sticking on was a bit more difficult, but because the paint of the bookshelf was a gloss I was able to peel off and rearrange until I was happy with the placement.
